Over the course of the last five years, Racing Rivals has grown into one of the most hardcore racing games in the world. This loyal community has spent countless hours competing in millions of races in “winner take all” fashion – all in the name of Turf Wars and pink slips.

However, all good things must come to an end… After spending time evaluating Rivals and its future – we’ve decided that it’s time to move on. Simply put, the revenue generated from Racing Rivals unfortunately no longer covers the cost of operations. This was not an easy decision to make.

On March 31st, 2019 – Rivals will be racing off into the sunset, and will be permanently shut down. Current players have until this date to utilize any accumulated virtual currency. We’ll be offering some massive reductions in the cost of crates, installs and repairs in addition to a reduction on timers as you race your way into the history books. Effective immediately, no new in-app purchases will be permitted.

In closing, a resounding and sincere THANK YOU to our extremely driven fans for your loyalty and dedication over the years – we hope you’ve enjoyed playing Racing Rivals as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.

Nos Help??

How do you determine what the best nos is for your car like the bottle size and type because they usually give negative binus on weight the more its upgraded.

    Strongest jets, and the pro A bottle lasts the entire race for most cars running in the 11s or below.

    Most lighter cars dont need anything past stage 2. Listen for when it runs out so you dont add weight for nothing.

    Stage 2 bottle that is. Go with max core. Just to clarify.

    I saw a youtube video of what looked to possibly be an older version of the game, where the Upgrade/Parts menu/interface was laid out differently. In the video, I saw the list of NOS Core parts showing with more information than just "Stage 1", "Stage 2", and "Professional Grade A" like they do in the current version (I only started playing about a week ago, so this is the only version I have personally experienced.)

    In the older version, the NOS Core options showed (I think) "Stage 1, 50 Shot", "Stage 2, 75 Shot", and "Pro, 120 Shot(Or maybe 125?)". What those numbers equate to is the size of the jet, or opening, that the Nitrous is being delivered through. In simple terms, larger jets mean more Nitrous can be delivered at a time, and that means a larger increase in power can be achieved. This also means that a given amount of Nitrous (Bottle size, in this case), will be consumed in less time with a larger jet.

    One size jet does not provide the same net power increase to different engines. But, keeping it simple, should provide roughly equal relative increases in power.

    If a "50-Shot" system adds 50 HP to a 500 HP motor, than a "100-Shot" should add roughly 100 HP to a 500HP motor. Put those two systems on a 200 HP motor, and you could expect to see a 20 HP and 40 HP increase, respectively.

    At least, that's my understanding of Nitrous systems.

    As for how to apply this knowledge to the game- I assume that in almost every case, the Pro Core is the best option, and the best Pro Bottle (A, b, or C) depends on how fast the car is. If it's a slower car, a larger bottle may be needed to ensure that you don't run out too soon. An already very fast car won't need the biggest bottle, as it's crossed the finish line long before the bottle is depleted. Try Pro Core and Pro Bottle B. If you end up with significant Nitrous left at the end of the race, you can try going to Pro Bottle A to save weight, and then see if you run out of Nitrous too soon.
